Good Hair

Can we get others to see our beauty if we don't believe in that beauty ourselves? Black Beauty has long been ignored and devalued to the point were countless young brothers and sisters are raised in environments that teach anti-black ideologies. So we must be honest about the seeds of inferiority sowed into the very soil of the black community. It is this reality that sets the stage for the countless identity issues that black people face in a world hostile to their very existence. So there must be a challenge to an American system that seeks to indoctrinate black people with ideas that make them hostile to themselves. As long as the African American community is defining itself by white standards issues of Good Hair will continue to plague our communities. At some point we must redefine ourselves on our terms in order to break free from the shackles of self-hate that seek to cripple any possibilities for liberation. Let's Get Free
